Police officer assaulted after two men entered supermarket in their underpants

Police were alerted after two men entered the Tesco store at Flint, north-east Wales, in their underpants.
But when officers from North Wales Police went to investigate the incident, at 10.17am on Sunday December 27 last year, they were directed to a block of flats where there were 10 people.

One of them, Paul Russell Greenough, 27, threw beer into a female police officer’s face which temporarily blinded her, said prosecutor Helen Hall.
Greenough, of Riverbank in Bagillt, denied a charge of assaulting a police officer, but was convicted in his absence at Flintshire Magistrates Court after he failed to turn up for his trial last week.

Assistance arrived and the officer arrested Greenough who later told her “as soon as the cuffs come off I will f*cking chin you.” Magistrates were told Greenough had previous convictions for assault on police.
Greenough had already pleaded guilty to a charge of threatening behaviour and damaging a police car window following his arrest.
A warrant has now been issued for his arrest.
